electronic music tournament

[purple]

first for the definition, because 'electronic music is such an umbrella term...

'electronic music': any album whose genre as classified on wikipedia includes the words 'electronic music' or 'electronic', as well as those albums identified by wikipedia as sub-genres of 'electronic music' including: ambient, breakbeat, chiptune, drum & bass, electro, electronic art music, electronica, electronicore, UK garage, glitch, hard dance, hardcore techno, house, industrial, synthpop, techno, trance, trip hop, dubstep, Eurodance, Hi-NRG, and any genre with the prefix 'synth' (e.g. synthpunk) or the suffix 'tronica' (e.g. indietronica).

All albums classified as 'electronic music' on wikipedia will be accepted, and there can be petitions to include other obviously electronic albums that are not classified as such on wikipedia. In this latter case, any two other users will have to OK the album. One example of an album that will have to be petitioned is Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion.

Each user is allowed two initial suggestions. After five full days of voting, users can suggest two more albums until 64 albums have been suggested. At that time threads will be created for each 1v1 match until a winner is chosen.

Could I get away with putting 'Experience' by The Prodigy in or would that be bending the rules?
